Here’s what they had to say…

“My wife and I were relocating from out of state to middle Tennessee due to a job transfer with my wife’s company. We were connected with Danielle Marcone through family and knew immediately it was a blessing. Finishing out an old job, selling our home in Atlanta and relocating to a hot TN market all at once was unnerving.

Danielle, at the drop of a hat, would pop into open houses, schedule private showings, and take us on ‘FaceTime’ tours all at short notice. We were competing with aggressive out of state buyers, competing with offers being made within minutes of homes going on the market, competing with sellers in a “sellers” market, so having Danielle there for us each step of the way was a true blessing.

When we found the house we knew we were looking, Danielle made it happen. She navigated us through the negotiation process and helped us make the best decision for us and our family. We’re truly thankful to have worked with Danielle through this process!”

– Paul Rogers (Out of state Buyer)

Got Questions?

I focus on Middle Tennessee’s luxury market, with deep expertise in Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Arrington, College Grove, and Nolensville. Each area offers distinct luxury lifestyles, from urban penthouses to sprawling estates, and I maintain extensive networks in each community. My intimate knowledge of these markets allows me to identify opportunities that align with your specific preferences.  Being from Memphis, I also maintain a team in West Tennessee to help buyers, sellers and investors.

Through my exclusive network, I provide privileged access to properties before they reach the public market. This includes off-market estates, preview opportunities, and upcoming listings that aren’t available through traditional channels. My connections with other luxury agents and sellers give you first access to exceptional properties that match your criteria.

Tennessee’s luxury market remains robust, with particularly strong demand in established neighborhoods and emerging luxury areas. Property values continue to appreciate, especially in prime locations near amenities and in historically significant areas. During our consultation, I’ll provide detailed analysis of current trends, inventory levels, and specific market dynamics relevant to your search.

While luxury homes typically appreciate over time, property values can decrease due to various factors. Market downturns, neighborhood changes, outdated design features, or deferred maintenance can impact value. However, strategic improvements, proper maintenance, and choosing properties in historically stable locations help protect your investment. I analyze long-term value trends and potential risk factors for every property to help you make informed decisions.

 

Both older and newer luxury homes can offer excellent value, depending on your priorities. Older homes often provide historical character, established neighborhoods, mature landscaping, and higher-quality craftsmanship that’s difficult to replicate today. However, they may require more maintenance and updating of systems. New construction offers modern floor plans, energy efficiency, and smart home integration, but typically at a higher price per square foot. The key is evaluating each property’s condition, location, and potential while considering your lifestyle needs and long-term investment goals.

Yes, you can manage your own property taxes and insurance payments rather than having them included in your monthly mortgage payment through an escrow account. However, many luxury home lenders require escrow accounts for at least the first year. After demonstrating solid payment history, you may have the option to handle these payments independently. The choice often depends on your lender’s requirements and your personal financial management preferences.

The timeline varies based on property availability, negotiations, and your specific requirements. Most transactions complete within 30-90 days after an accepted offer, though unique properties or complex deals may take longer. I manage the entire process to ensure efficient progression while never compromising on due diligence or your satisfaction.

Luxury properties typically require 20-30% down payment, though specific requirements depend on the lender, property type, and loan program. For properties over $2 million, some lenders may require larger down payments or have specific qualification criteria. I work with specialized luxury mortgage lenders who understand high-net-worth transactions and can structure financing to match your financial strategy.

I maintain relationships with an elite network of professionals who specialize in luxury real estate transactions. This includes top-tier mortgage lenders, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, designers, and contractors who understand the unique requirements of high-end properties. Each recommended professional has proven experience with luxury transactions and maintains the highest standards of service.

Luxury properties in Tennessee distinguish themselves through premium locations, architectural significance, and superior construction quality. These homes typically feature high-end finishes, extensive amenities, larger lot sizes, and often historical significance or unique design elements. Additional defining features include privacy, security systems, smart home technology, and lifestyle amenities such as wine cellars, home theaters, or guest houses.

I conduct comprehensive market analysis using recent comparable sales, current market trends, and property-specific features to determine accurate valuations. This includes evaluating unique elements like architectural significance, land value, improvements, and location factors. I also consider off-market sales data and upcoming development plans that might impact future value.

My relocation services extend far beyond property search to include comprehensive area tours, detailed school information, and local lifestyle integration. I connect you with essential services and provide insider knowledge about neighborhoods, social clubs, dining, and entertainment. Your transition includes introductions to local professionals and guidance on everything from utilities to interior designers.

Once your offer is accepted, I coordinate all aspects of the closing process, including inspections, appraisal, and final documentation. My team manages the timeline of contingencies, ensures all necessary repairs or negotiations are completed, and coordinates with attorneys and title companies. Throughout the process, I provide regular updates and handle any challenges that arise, culminating in a final walkthrough and smooth closing.
